Needing a “Lube” Job

I normally create new Blog posts by just sitting behind the laptop keyboard and start typing, hence; most of my Blog posts are written extemporaneously.  However, I am writing this Blog post ahead of time on Word. The reason for that is that my arthritic joints are sore from overdoing some “Head Stone Hopping” earlier this afternoon and I am reposing in my plush office chair for now. My Orthopedic Physician said I need to exercise my joints often. Trodding to and fro in a cemetery seeking to find requested headstones to photograph certainly fills the bill. My joints are certainly sore now, but I refer to it as a “good sore”, knowing it helps to produce a little lubrication to my mostly cartilage free joints.

Since I need lubrication, I wonder if my Orthopedic Physician could implant Zerk fittings into my knees, hips, shoulders, fingers and neck? Then I could go out to the barn and get the grease gun when I need some lubrication.  Hmmm, on 2^nd thought I had best avoid implanted Zerk fittings on my neck lest I look like Frankenstein.

Ah, rather than unsightly Zerk fittings, maybe I could spray the skin over my joints with some WD 40. It sure works wonders around here on squeaky hinges, etc. Hmmm, on another 2^nd thought, those are the kind of things I contemplate if I forget to take my medications, therefore; I will not dwell on impractical things and just continue to repose in my office chair until supper preparation in a few minutes. I think I’ll fry some French Fries, they have a lot of grease, at least the way I fry them, and grease is certainly a lubricant. Hmmmmm…
